Project description
Redesigning Europe's cities to improve quality of space
Redesigning European cities is fundamental to urban development. Urban MAESTRO looks at the ways that these cities are being designed and financed, focusing on innovative ways of generating and implementing urban spatial quality. Such modalities of urban governance, including multi-stakeholder design platforms and quality negotiation mechanisms, help act as key enablers or brokers in the process. Urban MAESTRO opts to explore these issues in depth. It will help strengthen the global understanding of innovative urban design governance. It will also contribute to realising the EU's New Urban Agenda by 2030.
